Eclipse Singlet

I've built up quite a collection of Eclipse Tees now, from the noticeably thicker first generation to the much lighter V2s. They're simply the most comfortable shirts I've ever worn. I love how light and breathable the fabric is, with plenty of perforations for airflow.

The black and tussock colours are great for the range, where camo is prohibited, while the green and camo versions come along on hunting trips—usually in long sleeves or hooded. They're true to size, too.

At 60 yo, moving away from my cotton shirts to this style of garment came with trepidation. I wore this recently on a hunting trip in FNQ. Days were extremely hot 40+. We also carry backpacks with survival gear. Cotton shirts become saturated quickly. This garment did as advertised wicked away the moisture and cooled the fabric. It was comfortable to wear. Rolling under fence lines & moving through undergrowth the fabric didn’t pickup seeds. 5 years ago my left nostril amputated and rebuilt from other body parts, sun exposure is a real threat to me, the hood and face veil worked well with a truckers cap to protect my forehead. The cap also contained the hood which without a hat obscured my peripheral vision. However, the option to quickly leave a vehicle without a hat to run after pigs crossing the road ahead was a real-bonus. All in all I will be purchasing a few more of these garments. Good design, good material, and the blaze orange is perfect.

I fly fish, don’t hunt! There are two major American brands that compete with Hunters Element but cost at least twice as much. Every item I’ve bought, and it’s a lot, has been first class! I bought the hooded Eclipse for fly fishing with the New Zealand sand flies in the back of my mind. I haven’t used it yet but I’m sure it will be outstanding for summer wading under a fly vest or Hurley’s Chest Pack. Another thing I like is their sizing! Apart from the Venom Gaiters, which I wish I had have bought in Large, I’ve been “Small”, or “Medium” for the Spectre jacket.
